Re: set spcp to pgm assoc space

IBM was nice enough to give us QUSPTRUS, I guess I should not complain.

I know you are kidding, but they did provide the QUSPTRUS api to get a
spcptr to a usrspc.

My guess is that the powers that be are concerned that the 80 byte header of
the PGAS will be overwritten by a careless pgmr. That is a reasonable
concern. Another reason why a new type of pointer that includes an allowed
address range should be introduced.
